streets of the capital is again cause to open the gun debate across the nation now all the talking heads are saying that you got to take away the guns to be safe well the problem is that the shooting happened right on the streets of the capital of a country where the guns have already been taken away paris france three kurdish women one of whom was a kurdish separatist party co-founder were shot dead the scene of the crime was right outside of a cursed institute which leads the police to think that it was an assassination you see when it comes to terrorism drug cartels in the mafia you can make all the gun laws that you want but the bad guys will still have plenty of guns because they live outside the law al qaeda and mexican drug cartels don't go to the stores and patiently wait for their background checks to be done before they buy their guns taking away all the guns through legal means won't matter there will still be murder and there will still be armed thugs and terrorists but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome to the business program russia struggles to compete on the international market so its recent w t o entry after eighteen years of negotiations was supposed to help but the head of russia's largest lenders bear bag herman graf this week said some russian ministers don't really understand the rules of the game in the w t o so russia is bound to lose he says and here's katie pilbeam to talk all about it so katie do you think we're about to lose well i think mr grappa makes a convincing case actually having listened to and they assume what he's going to say and he's saying that these ministers to particularize she accused him of not

knowing the rule broke in the case of the w.t. iran and the accession of what can really mean for russia and the advantages that it can bring and he was referring to it as being almost like a hockey team who don't know the rules and they don't know the rules he can't play the games this isn't his accusations now. switch to the city you're talking about w.t. your accession in future tense can i use the ministers how many hours that they spent studying w t always i can answer not a single one if you tell me that you have it then i'll ask you a simple question because i did this for seven years what is regulated by w.t. all rules so the problem is we haven't realized we are part of w t o and we still don't know the rules of the game used of us mostly and as he said seven years he was the former economic and trade minister of course in his fright instrumental in russia's accession to the w t i said anyone it's him right but i mean really if you

don't know the rules of the game which definitely is not such a great thing when what we're talking about you know russia's minister is in charge but if you don't know the rules of the game that doesn't really devalue the game itself all you have to do is learn the rules and start playing that's really the argument and jacob neil from morgan stanley really agrees with that i think it was an excellent thing to join i think it will support growth in russia i think russia got a good deal and now russia just needs to learn how to make the best of it if the officials don't know the rules then they should do a training program so that the ministers are advised by officials who know ministers don't have the expertise and everything but i need to have officials that do so russia these two bit of homework. so bit of schooling a bit of homework that's never such a bad thing in any sector of word and analyzing government whatever your job is but mr graef also has some pretty harsh statements to make about globalization as well

of russia's really position on that because he was saying that really the only thing ever brings is disparity between the rich and the part of its get rich or incredibly rich eisen say in the four don't really benefit tool he also said about russia's competitiveness and said that it's only really competitive now in the natural resource export industry so it wasn't just w.c. you know that kind of battering by mr graef today well the thing about competing too is we're talking about failing to compete as this it's a completed process but actually it's work in progress and that's exactly what morgan's morgan stanley's neil so let's listen to him the pint is not fixed it grow when you have liberalization of trade and investment that's the whole idea and rush. to win from this process it has to compete you can't just hide behind

tariff barriers forever but if russia does engage those complete. can we market share such as i think is trying to win market share in turkey. spare bank is expanding into eastern europe and turkey if it does compete and does do well then i think russia will gain from the process of globalisation. and do some examples of a work in progress i would say in the bigger pie sounds like a good place to leave it let's move on to one of the hottest topics this week is the so-called debt ceiling in the united states the republicans are pretty much against boosting the limit on government borrowing but unless the ceiling is raised the world's largest economy will actually run out of money as early as next month it could default on its payments including social security medicare unemployment insurance and much much more but how bad would it actually be to d.

fault that's the question i asked mark priest of e.t.f. scalpel. if it doesn't raise the ceiling we have the unprecedented scenario of the the u.s. defaulting perhaps on some of its bombs there's no two ways about it that would some shock waves across the world and across the financial markets and we would we would see everything plugged into into trouble for everyone who knows how long but it would be something that a set is unprecedented and hopefully will never reach that stage basically from what you're saying it sounds like the other options like de faulting debt restructuring selling alaska not being things like social security these are not really viable option is a so what we're basically talking about is it's going to be raising the ceiling with some strings attached strings like cots. i think that's the only

way i'm going to as you say the other measures such as you know selling alaska defaulting on it but just on workable would have such repercussions globally but that is just not a viable option so the only option really left is is to raise the ceiling but somehow managed to bring in some sort of federal cuts so or even through the tax raises tax rises sort of for the for the super rich that we we heard of talk about the fiscal cliff at the end of at the end of last year so you know i think the first scenario as i said is probably all workable the only way really is. to have strings attached to the raising of the ceiling. and some economists actually questioned the very concept of having a debt ceiling neil ferguson of harvard university told business r.t. it's an artificially created problem the first place. you can always rely on

american politicians to make the problem seem much bigger than it is i mean the problems that the united states would be grappling with over the next two months include a completely artificial problem which is the debt ceiling i mean there's absolutely no reason why there should be a specified ceiling to the federal deadline congress imposes that on itself and then having imposed it has to vote to listed what you did never to be must so this is a pretty are sufficient crisis a purely political crisis. and let's quickly run through the markets to see where they finish the week on wall street we see a mixed picture this hour the markets are still trading intel's results really disappointed mester is a man's back is given in to the pressure and of course the s. and p. five hundred end of the previous session its highest level since two thousand and seven so there's definitely some profit taking they're moving on over in europe equities ended friday's session mixed the footsie gained about a third of

a percent the dax and it ended the day actually a lower and over here and of russia it was an impressive day for the equities both the r.t.s. and the my six posted very strong gains more than one percent each the r.t.s. close the ball of the psychologically important level of one thousand six hundred points for the first time since april and on the currency markets so the dollar was strange coming to the euro and as you're seeing here the russian ruble closed mixed to the currency basket. and that's all we have time for in this edition of business up next on our team it's an exclusive head to head with a pakistani protest leader who spoke to us just before he managed to talk the government into dissolving the parliament amid intense calls for political reforms .

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for life you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged welcome to the big picture. and. deadly levels for decades. if you had fifteen thousand people killing each other

in any other country there would be just sure would be a. self-imposed out cost from society i will check myself and my going to my brother understand my going to my own immediate i'm going to eventually attend the call of my anger and my frustration. that they know that. they will enter the. two of the most violent gangs in u.s. history. has just all model kill or be killed with the colors matching the national flag.

of this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes the violence they all made in america on the sea. thank you very much. for being with us was russia there let's start with the marsh . if you do thing the marsh is likely to meet in three of the democracy in pakistan especially where the. general election is to be held in a few months democracy is known to be deep and not going to be d.-day and it is our lady derailed by the corrupt political leaders began to put democracy in her own right track. and we want to pull democracy in place in its two legged and spirit we

don't want any kind of delay in elections. they literally form which i have suggested they are our lady mentioned in the constitution of pakistan all the details which i am demanding ali he did in the law institute constitution and electra laws and the third thing my electoral reforms agenda has been our lady and lost by the supreme court of pakistan in her study meant which was issued on aid to off in june two thousand and twelve this year so we have to just enforce these articles of constitution and sections of the electoral laws and judgment of supreme court in dozen or more than one month and still we have three months for care to go to government so there is no chance of beating the democracy election can take place on due time for the two you accused the political reader in pakistan of corruptions and other crimes. do what they think them or do you expect which force

that you would be dealing with or you wish to deal with that can pranged that this that change that required process of all lead to be substantiated what i have stated that their majority is of that these people are corrupt there is a. department of the government. neb national accountability bureau and its chairman retired admiral for siebel heidi this is appointed by the president of pakistan mr zardari himself he has stated in his press conference and he has issued his or fishel nebbe statement that five thousand billion rupees but n m. are going in corruption so these are the facts and figures given by the government department. and at the same time it is declared and it is not

be naive that salman two percent of the members of the parliament of pakistan the decks of radio. they don't bother to file their tax returns they conceal their source of income. sold the corruption there is nobody can deny this reality so out of this martin movement is anti corruption to educate our society from corruption and this is need of the whole muslim world and hold third world and developing muslim countries the have to get to the end of corruption and corrupt leaders we have to get rid of decks of aid and then lawbreakers this is why we have started this struggle as if that is create in pakistan you mentioned egypt and some other countries it's very famous saying. the revolution eats its own children is and what happened in egypt and libya and other countries. those who call the revolutions the are not the rulers don't you feel that the foods are the

efforts that you are going to do now that could be shown to somebody else no i don't think somebody else will gain because somebody else has no intentions to take over the power. they have lost a lot of their reputation because of past experiences. and they in effect are no specialist of controlling the civil society they're not gender for it. when i say it evolution we should keep in your mind in egypt in tunis in libya and all these countries there was needed a dictatorship for years and years for a long time. and the people stood up against that in iran there was in one alkie rule of shan shah the people stood up against that or dystonic is bit different there is no one else to neither monadic elul nor needed

a dictatorship here is electoral authority in the twenty billion is an electoral dictatorship yes democracy and a political process as well as the term is concerned does exist there are political parties and the men who cleared the elections to come back in the parliament after seventy five years but does the true democracy does not exist in this society neither in political. field nor in social feed nor in economic field or democracy the people are not in fact participating in the real process of democracy. they're not getting the job they're not getting the rule of law they're not getting the. the protection of their life there is no production of their wealth and business. is targeted killings that people are being kidnapped. you know there are for last four days hundred twenty five dead bodies were sitting there we don't bloody you know chief minister was there no provisional government was there no member

assembly was there and even a prime minister arrived there four days later so this is a law lessness total chaos and anarchy in this country government is totally dysfunctional. saw this is the single nation single country in the whole muslim world and in nuclear capability and if the same situation continues that would be a very big disaster if we could come to the level of collapse so we have to put democracy owners' right we have to stabilize the society on true basis of constitution and law this is this movement is for the student to feel that if force will be it's a loss of innocent life. could be a sacrifice to the smart we have to stand up the people have stand up for their rights people want a peaceful society which would be used i don't think i don't think they will be

able i know thousands of the commandos they have got from the government opened up shed by the city has sent thousands of commandos this night they have already made an attempt the first night when we arrived over here. and there were defeated. our security guards and ladies game in front of them. and they've run away there and away i know and i'm telling you tonight thousands of commandos had been sent from the government open job. and there were aged from the capital to. thinking of a joint venture but hundreds of thousands of people are sitting here although they are unarmed they are peaceful they don't have any weapons but still hundreds of thousands of people in spite of being peaceful they are enough to stop this kind of terroristic attacks by the government there nasr question marks on how you fund

you funded your campaign and this march in particular you. received any foreign aids or funds from the world's simple answer who funded the revolution of the line and the people in egypt who funded them who funded the people in libya who funded the people in tunis these are the people who funded the people in iran very old is when the people get up for revolution they give their lives as second feis but to talk about the money every single poor person is selling his the his these sold we gave i myself my life my children's my daughters my daughter in law all of them other family to give the part of their julie's. the ladies are given that judy the girls are given the jewel the people are sending their outfits their motorbikes their cars whatever savings they have the are spending on the public city they are doing everything for this but the even though it's an open secret that the

americans the u.s. and the with some western powers have. the head they have a role actually to shaping in shaping the political events since you know using pakistan how do you see the role and what is your strategy towards the americans and this was from powers this is because of this income began political leadership. if you had become bigger in leadership who fixes and and prescribes of you can see who knows that whatever supreme national interest and then it develops before he laid his foreign policy exactly on the basis of our own national interest nobody in this world whether america or any other country is your government and friend nor your parliament enemy. we don't want to become enemies of other countries and we don't want that

they're going to including america our other countries to be of any be like a fair. friendly relationship with every countries but at the same time we want to save guard our national interest we want to become a peaceful country we want to protect the peace of our neighbor than region and we want to spark disappeared in developing the peace for the whole world that's on my last question some orbs or thing or accuse you actually directly that you are carrying a foreign engine that you are trying to implement here in pakistan and you march comes with some certain developments there the tension between the two militaries of pakistan and india on the eastern side and kashmir and some developments in quit . where hundred and twenty five people were killed from here we are sure it how do you respond to these accusations dr can you tell me

a single day when there is no crisis in pakistan when there is no target killing when there is no bomb terrorist attacks when there is no law no kidnappings every single day is the overprices in this city of pakistan because of it believe it incumbency of these rulers. my coming here this is a farce accusation i totally reject it i totally rebut it refute it. i have not come here with any agenda my agenda is the nation of pakistan. somebody critic can say anything to anybody who seem obama would have said the same thing to the but evolutionary people of to notice it done now they say now it's going to cause as he would have said this in a sense at the same time so whenever you get up for the change the people who want to maintain the status quo the r.d. used to say these kind of allegations and telling lies. and this time of rising up

and. standing up for this change and democratic revolution is the best appropriate china because i didn't we didn't order them the political will. to lyster their mandate to god the five years term and we wanted them to complete their term now the attorneys are almost complete. elections are early june in march you understand the term is coming to an end so without disturbing relating disturbance during their term and we give them time to deliver it they can deliver anything but they couldn't deliver to the people so now this was the best time to bring electoral reforms before we entered into the process of elections if they lections take place according to the c.m. corrupt practices and corrupt traditions and is has been taking. place throughout the history so it means the same corrupt people with fake degrees the lawbreakers.

corrupted people with the decks of waiters. and like the prime minister has been ordered to be arrested by the supreme go bugs done so this can be but it will come again into the parliament and david ruined this going to do the next five years so i think this time was the best time to bring electorally farms and then election triptych place within that time frame given by the constitution we don't tend to believe you but if you can. i am not here to end poverty myself i am here to a member of the people of pakistan i have already declared that i did not take any did for it get to go prime minister absolutely no. language. we can we know in any real sense to kill some of.
